I’ve made this pattern super simple to follow so you can enjoy the process and end up with your own adorable teddy curtain holder, and I’ve also included some step-by-step photos to help you along your way.

By now you should have your head and body with your eyes inserted if you are using Safety Eyes.
To sew your nose onto your bear, first place it just under the eyes, only partial stuffing it to help get its shape, then sew half of it on.
Once you have reached the halfway point, finish stuffing it, then sew it on the rest of the way.

This makes your cute ears for your teddy bear.
To sew the ears onto the head, I lined up both of them, found where I was happy with them and then used pins to help keep them in place.

Row 2 – Ch 1, Turn your work, SC 40. (40 sts).
Row 2 – Ch 1, Turn your work, SC 40. (40 sts).
Fasten Off.
You ties should end up looking like this.
Now you need to sew one end to one hand.
Then with the second tie you want to do the same thing with the other hand.
